OMG!!  Thats not right... Either the letter got lost in the post or they made a mistake.

 

Call USCIS up immediately and speak to a rep, USCIS normally sends out biometrics notices within three to eight weeks of receiving an application.

 

As you have not received your biometrics notice / appointment letter USCIS may have the wrong address on file. Contact USCIS customer service immediately (1-800-375-5283) 

 

However, if you received your receipt notice and never received a biometrics notice, the biometrics notice might have been lost in the mail. In that case, you can again contact USCIS customer service to request a new appointment date. You can also submit an e-request using the case number on your receipt with an online case inquiry.

 

It’s also possible that you did not receive a biometrics notice because USCIS already has your biometrics on file. This may occur if someone already went to a biometrics appointment with USCIS within the last year, for example for renewing a green card, and then the person later filed for citizenship.

 

Either way please contact them to find out whats going on. 

 

Good luck!

My PD is October 19th and I'm also waiting for AP and EAD.

I have the same frustration feeling... I try to think that this is mostly because of the huge number of people asking for asylum at the border, but then USCIS comes up with a premium processing fee for H1B visas... that's just not fair!

Hey, I did not receive my biometrics appointment, and I called USCIS multiple times since November and they would always tell me that they were working on it... until I talked to one person that transferred me to an officer (tier 2)... the officer confirmed that a letter was sent to me, but it was returned because they had not entered my apt number in the system... she rescheduled my appointment for 3 days later, and faxed the letter to me...

If I was you, I would try calling and asking to talk to an officer (they have access to a different data base that the tier 1 don't have access to, and maybe they can find that something happened to your appointment). And if that doesn't work, you could try going to the closest USCIS support center, explaining what is happening and hope that they accept to do your biometrics. The worst that can happen is that they will say no. 

Thank you so much for the advices! We submitted multiple requests recently and they said to contact them again in 30 days if we did not hear anything by then. I'll definitely try to call again and ask for Tier 2 officer. We're in Los Angeles, so it said we can't schedule to go in through InfoPass or walk-in  

This is sooo stressful.. but thank you so much you guys!

Any other October filers still awaiting their EAD? mines been pending over 159+ days now for AP and EAD and over 120+ days since my AOS / GC was last updated with the "Case is ready to be scheduled for an interview"

 

Really starting to drag... not sure what their delay is but hoping to hear something next week the only good thing is for those of us waiting we are approaching the date of when we can submit an inquiry.  

 

 

My husband's PD is October 2, 2018 and we still have not yet received Biometrics App yet

Status is still "Case was received". We're getting extremely anxious.

Gotcha. Try to schedule an Infopass appointment with your closest office or call and ask to speak to Tier 2. You'll want to ask them if they've sent out a biometrics appt letter or not. If they have sent it it's important you find out asap, because not showing up to bio appt means abandoning AOS. Likely though they have not sent out a bio appt letter (for whatever reason) but then the Infopass/call would be about sorting out why that is. Hope you can figure this out soon!

This is extremely helpful. Thank you so much! I'll do that ASAP.

He's an AOS applicant so he's in authorized stay. He can still stay in the US when his OPT expires, no worries there. Only problem is he can't work after his OPT expires, until he gets his EAD, for which he needs to do a biometrics appointment.

 

It's very strange that you have not been called to that appointment. Make sure your address with the USCIS is correct, I assume it is because you received NOA1, but double check. 

Thank you so much for the answer!

We moved to a different state in December of 2018, so we recently called USCIS to change our address. Our old address is at my sister's and she said she has not received anything at all. 

Hi, I'm very new here but needing all the help and advice I can get.

My husband OPT EAD is expiring in April, 2019. We filed i-130, i-485 and i-765 since October 2018. 

We received the Notice Receipt for all but we have not yet gotten our Biometrics Appointment Notice yet.

Our PD: 10/02/2018

Notice Date: 10/08/2018

We called a few days ago to request for Biometrics Appointment Notice. Not really sure what to do here :( getting real anxious and feeling so stressed out.

Can he still stay in the US after his OPT expires? Can he still work after? Does the 180 extensions applies for OPT EAD?

Please let me know and thank you so much!

Really appreciate all the advice I can get.
